White was competing in a heavyweight bout against Ricky Muse. This was the big man’s first fight since November 2015.

The fight was stopped in the second round at 2:22 due to unanswered blows. White was unable to protect himself, which is why the referee stopped the fight.

He collapsed as he was walking backstage. When he collapsed, it appears, according to reports, that he became unresponsive and received CPR.
